HOSTS Kings Basketball Club are strongly positioned in the 4 x 4 Mix Christmas Basketball Championship, which culminates this evening at the Retrieve Hard Court in Linden.
The tournament places emphasis on having at least one female player on the basketball court at all times.

United States–based former basketball coach Gary Stephens, along with overseas-based Lindeners have partnered with Kings Basketball Cub to fill the void of competitive basketball in Linden.
This specially-arranged tournament started with 15 teams, and is now down to the quarterfinals, semi-finals and final set for this evening from 18.00hrs.

Kings A and B have made it through, along with Block 22 A and B, Jets A, Kwakwani A and B, and Retrieve Raiders A.
Kings B was the only unbeaten team in the round-robin format.
The match-ups will see Kings B versus Block 22 A, Jets A face Kwakwani A, Block 22 B take on Kwakwani B, and Retrieve Raiders A collide with Kings A.

Several incentives along with trophies and replicas are at stake for the top teams, with the winners, losing finalist and third-placed team being the recipients. (Joe Chapman)
